Assistance services

Gate passesParticipating airports may provide a family member or friend with a gate pass which will allow them to escort you to the departure gate. Please note; a gate pass is not permitted for meeting a guest at the gate upon arrival. The person requesting the gate pass must have valid government-issued photo identification that is not expired.

We recommend that you review our service animals page if you are travelling with a service animal, as some destinations may not accept your animal or have additional restrictions or quarantine requirements before they are allowed entry. Also, if you are travelling with a large service animal that requires additional floor space, we require 48 hours advance notice to confirm this space.

We kindly ask that if you have a special need that you self-identify your needs at the time of booking, at check-in and notify a cabin crew member upon boarding any of our aircraft.
